August 22nd – See it. Say it. Do it. Be it.
“We recover.”
– Life with Hope, first edition, page 69
The length of time in recovery is less important than the quality of recovery. Taking healthy risks, pushing boundaries, getting out of my comfort zone, expanding my skills; this is how I am recovering a life I wanted. I had to see others model things. I’d say “I want to do that,” or “can I do that?” I would do it, and see how it felt. Thank you Higher Power, for giving me the power to take the next right step.
Final thought: Today I can embrace growing new parts of my potential.

Misunderstood Strengths
Written By, Dan F. I used to look back on my childhood with confusion. I knew I was different—how I learned, how I connected—but I didn’t have the language for it. I just knew I didn’t fit. It wasn’t until I entered recovery that those memories began to shift. Not because they changed, but because…

Dear Sativa
Written By, Jade N. Dear Sativa, I’ve been trying to find the right words and the courage to say that I am not in love with you anymore. You have given me some of my best times, and some of my worse times. Yes, you helped me medicinally get off of opiates and alcohol, but…

Marijuana Addict
Written By, Mark S. I lit the leaf to calm my mind,But found my soul grew more confined.A fleeting peace, a fleeting high,Yet every dawn, the well ran dry. The smoke became a binding chain,A silent thief that numbed my pain.It whispered lies, “You’ll be set free,”While tightening its grip on me. Dreams delayed, and…
